Connect Common Core, inquiry, and technology!
While technology ushers in exciting and innovative educational opportunities, finding best practices for its complete integration remains a challenge.
Christopher Moersch, founder of the internationally recognized and research-based Lo Ti Framework, provides a concrete tool for implementing digital age best practices. With discussions on how to promote networked collaboration, bolster purposeful inquiry, and anchor student decision-making and learning with technology tools and resources, Moersch uses research-based instructional strategies to deliver:
- A concrete road map for a smooth digital transition into new Common Core Standards
- Lesson plans, benchmarks, and instructional units to help bridge the link between 21st century skills, Common Core Standards, and student achievement
- Practical tips for classroom, building, and district implementation of digital age best practices
- Tools and guidance for successful PLCs
Make the critical connection between effective implementation of 21st century skills/themes and student academic achievement part of your school’s pedagogy!
‘When schools need to equip students with the skills to facilitate creativity, here is the blueprint. This carefully crafted advice has been road-tested and it works.’
—Neil Mac Neill, Principal
Ellenbrook Independent Primary School, Ellenbrook, WA
